On Thursday, October 1, President Donald Trump tested positive for Covid-19 after returning from a fundraiser in Bedminster, New Jersey. He tweeted that he had Covid just after 1 a.m. the next day. The White House physician Sean Conley shared that the president was doing well with only minor symptoms, but later had a “high fever and his oxygen saturation was transiently dipping below 94%.” https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-covid-19-updates-monday/h_af259942e082eb5da10230e33f2da6fe

Trump was moved to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and given supplementary oxygen, an antibody cocktail — an investigational treatment from the biotechnology company Regeneron — zinc, vitamin D, the heartburn drug famotidine, melatonin, aspirin, and later a 5 day course of the antiviral drug Remdesivir.

On Saturday, Trump was given Dexamethasone, which is a drug shown to help Covid-19 patients, especially those on ventilation. He later tweeted that he was starting to feel better and briefly left the hospital the next day, Sunday, to drive past supporters cheering him on in an SUV with his security detail. Officials said that if he felt as good as he did on Sunday, he could be released on Monday. The final decision, however, is still yet to be made.
